EbDGm
The devil's going to make me a free man
EbDGm
the devil's going to set me free
EbDGm
The devil's going to make me a free man
EbDGm
the devil's going to set me free
GmCm
I've been down, deep Texas. Mississippi state.
DGm
Hoping things might go my way.
GmCm
For every hard earned dollar I make
DGm
there stands a white man just to take it away.
GmCm
Some might say I talk loud, see if I care.
DGm
Unlike them, don't walk away from my fear
GmCm
I've busted bones, broken stones, looked the devil in the eye
DGm
I hope he's going to brake these chains.
EbDGm
The devil's going to make me a free man
EbDGm
the devil's going to set me free
EbDGm
The devil's going to make me a free man
EbDGm
the devil's going to set me free
GmCm
Another hard day, no water no rest.
DGm
I saw my chance so I got him at last.
GmCm
I took his six shooter, put two in his chest
DGmEbDGm
He'll never say a word no more, he'll never say a word no more.
EbDGm
The devil got him good for sure.
GmCm
Ain't got no place to call a home,
D7Gm
only chains and broken bones.
GmCm
Ain't got no place to call a home
D7Gm
so come on lord won't you take me now
GmCm
Ain't got no place to call a home,
D7Gm
only chains and broken bones.
GmCm
Ain't got no place to call a home
D7Gm
so come on lord what you waiting for.
